Actually these critters were oblivious to the cold and me. And, of course, I was the only nut in the park, besides the contents of the squirrel pantries. It was cold!
Freezing rain in crossed polarized light
This is just a supposition on my part; but judging by the size & symmetry of this clump of freezing rain I'm going out on a limb and say it was, until very recently, once a snow flake.
Also the heavy...HEAVY birefingence suggest a hidden crystalline structure not found in a simple frozen droplet of water.
Sunny, cold morning at Bay City State Park beach. Taken at an off angle to the sun with a circular polarizing filter and wide angle that created the bi-toned sky.
Some fun with Fuji.
Shot a colorful sunset. This time boosted it with Fuji's Velvia film simulation and used a polarizer and exposure bracketed for HDR... Oh and in post added some graduated color filters.. and I bit of Orton effect.. just to add a touch of color.
Basically I overdid everything I could. Because It's Fuji fun time!
With it rainy and cloudy here today in Maryland I put the CPL filter on the end of the 300mm lens and went out for some avian captures.
The polarizing filter in this light reduces the light by two stops, so that has to be compensated for by bringing the shutter down some, and increasing the ISO. The results though are worth it I think as the CPL colors and contrast in this light just go up a nice notch or two.
The colors on this house finch are very earthly and pretty here I think. Kind of pops nice too on the matching bokeh (wintry trees beyond).
Taken from an airplane window. The effect is the polarisation filter on the lens combined with the polarized coating of the airplan window. Photoshop was limited to noise, levels and curves. No saturation was used.
Please view large before making judgement.

A very cloudy evening, solid cloud cover, a little drizzle, crappy conditions at first sight. A Cokin Blue Yellow Varicolor Polarizer later along with a Cokin Graduated 3-stop Neutral Density Filter, and a B+W 6-stop Neutral Density Filter later, this image was born.

with the Hawthorne Bridge in the right center background; Willamette River, Portland, Oregon. After a mostly hot July we had a day of showers and drizzle, followed by this day of clouds leaving before the next heat wave. 2 Live Composite exposures (sky 973 0.5sec frames, water 170 0.5sec frames; composited in camera; ~9.5min of exposure) combined in Photoshop. OM20603,04
I'm not a big polarizer fan, but the sunrise light was at the perfect angle to use one. My friend Anderson handed me his, and luckily it fit my lens. I didn't like the color it made the sky, so I cropped out most of the sky here and lightened it a bit.
Alder Trail - 1 (of 21) - Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II with Takumar 1:2.8 120mm Prime (M42 Mount) and Fotodiox M42 to M43 Adapter & Polarizer - Photographer Russell McNeil PhD (Physics) lives on Vancouver Island, where he works as a writer.
I spotted this old tin shack from the Glasgow - Edinburgh train near Bonnybridge. I thought it looked interesting so I returned in the car a few days later to get a couple of shots. The weather even played its part and was kind to me. I thought the russett coloured grass added to the image.
I used a very high setting on my polarizer filter for these chicken photos, giving them an interesting look. This hen is pecking about the chicken enclosure at Wright-Locke Farm, with the old squash house up on the hill.
This is the last of my dried flower focus stacks. I took this inside the flower shed at Wright-Locke Farm. I wish I'd done more of these, with fresh flowers, over the summer.
A roadside field of poppies. I got out of the car and waded right in. It was a really sunny day, so I used the polarizer and I like the effect.
The red was so bright it was almost blinding - I toned it down a bit when I processed. This with the Sigma 10-20. Love the wide angle!
The only difference between these two shots is that the one below was taken using a polarized filter rotated at the right angle to eliminate some of the direct polarized reflection (glare) from the light source.
Subjects that do not conduct electricity (like the plastic above) generate a lot of polarized direct reflection. Subjects that do conduct electricity like the metal in the canon logo generate more direct reflection so he polarizing filter has no effect on the reflection. The background is a piece of blue tissue paper which generates a lot of diffuse reflection, the polarizing filter has no effect over the diffuse reflection.
Understanding the polarization of light gives you an additional level of control in your lighting. You can choose to polarize your light source in order to control reflections in your subjects, or polarize your lens in order to block polarized reflections.

The effect of shooting with polarizing filter through a polarized window. I have no idea why this rainbow effect happens, as best I can tell it has something to do with...uh...science, I guess. All's I know is I like it.
Give it a try the next time you're on a plane, it's a nice way to pass the time. Works shooting through a lot of car windows too.
Finally, EXPLORED! This is definitely one of my favorite photos I've ever taken, and it's nice to see it getting the recognition it deserves at last :)

Petit coin sympathique découvert avec Yoann hier après midi accessible à marée basse après une petite marche sur la plage précédente. Cette plage est bordée de très grands palétuviers et le sable recouvert par endroits de feuilles mortes. Quand nous sommes arrivés, le soleil passait déjà sous l'horizon, il a fallut trouver rapidement des éléments de composition (en évitant de se faire piquer par une escadrille de taons :-). Rémire-montjoly (Guyane française) le 20 novembre 2008, route des plages à l'embouchure du fleuve le Mahury.

Sympathetic spot discovered with Yoann yesterday afternoon accessible to low tide after a small walk on the preceding beach. This range is bordered with very high mangroves trees and the sand covered by places with black leaves. When we arrived, the sun was nearly below the horizon, we had to quickly find elements of composition (while avoiding being bitten by a group of horseflies :-). Rémire-montjoly (French Guiana) on November 20, 2008, road of the beaches to the mouth of the river Mahury.

Canon EF 17-40 f/4 L (21mm@f/14) | ISO 50 | 30 sec. | Singh-Ray reversed GND3 filter | Lee ND6 filter | Lee ∅105mm Polarizer filter | PP in Aperture/CS4: cleaning, contrast, saturation, sharpening (maybe a way too much :-).This is not a composite nor a HDR image.
